Brief summary
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that rTMS on the dominant swallowing hemisphere is able to modify swallowing coordination.
Detailed description
The aim of the study is to demonstrate that rTMS (on the dominant hemisphere, on the nondominant hemisphere and placebo rTMS) are able to modify swallowing coordination on healthy subjects. Swallowing function will be studied before and after rTMS with videomanometry.
Interventions
rTMS on pharyngeal cortical area in healthy subjects or sham rTMS on pharyngeal cortical area in healthy subjects
